Short summary
Integrating data from multiple satellite altimetry missions, we analyzed Greenland’s peripheral glaciers and Ice Sheet (GrIS) from 1992–2023. Our methodology ensures consistent, reliable elevation change data, now publicly available via NASA's ITS_LIVE project. The GrIS lost an average of -160 ± 17 Gt a-1 and peripheral glaciers -23 ± 5 Gt a-1 from 1992–2023. The study highlights the importance of continued monitoring to understand climate change impacts on Earth's Cryosphere.
